Mikata-Ga-Hara 1572

By 1572 Takeda Shingen was at the height of his power and although Tokugawa Ieyasu was not his greatest threat, Ieyasu after moving his army base to Hamamatsu castle, was the most immediate challenge. Shingen marched to the high ground at Mikata-ga-Hara and deployed his army in the classic fish-scale formation, which supposedly would entice Ieyasu to attack. Outnumbered, Ieyasu gambled that a quick strike might catch the Takeda army by surprise, but the Takeda soldiers held firm and counterattacked with such vigor that Ieyasu escaped was made good only by the sacrifice of a number of brave generals.
The stage is set, the battle lines are drawn, and you are in command. The rest is history.

My opinion is that the Cavalry leader for the Takeda should be Obata Masamori, not Saigusa Moritomo MkII

Anayama Balsetsu might be also known as Anayama Nobutada
